Can you imagine being so slimy, obnoxious, and despicable that even the GOP finds you reprehensible?

then he shouldn't have been doing drugs, having sex with underage girls, or using prostitutes.

He's not a victim; he's the victimizer.

Matt Gaetz's Question to Hunter Biden Did Not Go According to Plan
The Context
During a behind-closed-doors deposition for the impeachment inquiry into his father, President Joe Biden, on February 28, Gaetz asked Hunter Biden: "Were you on drugs when you were on the Burisma board?" Hunter Biden was a director on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.

What We Know
According to a transcript, Hunter Biden responded by asking: "Mr. Gaetz, look me in the eye. You really think that's appropriate to ask me?"

After Gaetz insisted he thought that it was appropriate, Hunter Biden added: "Of all the people sitting around this table, do you think that's appropriate to ask me?"

The House Ethics Committee announced an investigation into Gaetz in 2021 that said it was investigating if Gaetz engaged in sex crimes and drug use. Gaetz has vehemently denied the allegations.

Any unfavorable news is fake or a witch hunt or hoax or the result of a weaponized, biased justice system.
